The double belt ammunition box produced in galvanized sheet metal (known colloquially as PK11 – PatronenKasten 11). As on the PK 15, the metal carrying handles were widened where the hand would grip to give added ease whilst carrying. The handle folds back snug within the lid inlet. The internal dividing wall was in some cases removed to enable the ammunition box to function as a tool or spares container. Colour – outer: green / grey. Inner: galvanized steel. These ammo boxes showed often a battered appearance on original photos with the corners and tops particularly worn.
